If Romney loses, Paul Ryan is the clear GOP frontrunner for 2016, correct?

Yeah, barring some big epic fail on Ryan's part this campaign, I'd say so.

So Romney will have screwed the GOP out of 2 Presidential elections?

I would say that Ryan will not be the de-facto front-runner in 2016 because Republicans have a tendency of supporting actual VPs while shunning VP candidates on a losing ticket. Only once to my knowledge has a losing Republican VP went on to gain any real steam in a primary: Bob Dole, and it took 20 years after his loss for Republicans to come around to him.

If we go by tradition, Santorum will be the front-runner, while Christie and others will certainly jump in and give him a run for his money.

If Romney loses, then I think the frontrunner, should he choose to pursue it, is Huckabee.  But I think the odds of that happening are low.

Instead, we'll have a passel of GOP governors running: Christie, Haley, Jindal, Walker, plus some others who have at least one term under their belts.
